Bactris major is a small to medium sized (1–10 m tall) spiny palm which ranges from Mexico, through Central America into northern South America and Trinidad.[5][1] The species is divided into three[1] or four[5] varieties, although the boundaries between varieties is not always clearly defined.[5]
The fruits are eaten or used to flavour drinks.[5]
Varieties
Rafaël Govaerts recognised three varieties:
- Bactris major var. major[2]
- Bactris major var. infesta (Mart.) Drude[3]
- Bactris major var. socialis (Mart.) Drude[4]
Andrew Henderson and co-authors recognised a fourth variety, Bactris major var. megalocarpa (Trail ex Thurn) A.J.Hend.,[5] but Govaerts considered this to be a synonym of Bactris major var. major.[6]
